Foxhunting: Past, Present, Future? was a one year pilot project led by Leicestershire County Council's Melton Carnegie Museum.

The Foxhunting: Past, Present, Future? project ran for one year from October 2005 to 2006 with a major grant of £50,000 by the Heritage Lottery Fund.  The aim being to impartially record the impact of the Hunting Act (2004) from all points of view and discover other foxhunting collections.

Building upon the displays at Melton Carnegie Museum, information from this project has created an oral history archive, educational resources and highlights of relevant collections.

The project photographed four scrapbooks created by the hunting parson Reverend Walter Verney and the Warwickshire Hunt, 1900-1904.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) has donated material relating to their campaign against hunting.
